$_GET 100% in Javascript

Hey all i have spent about 2 hours today getting this working cross browser and working properly.

This is a 100% Implementation of php $_GET and works perfectly in JavaScript

And when i say 100% i mean it, none of this key=val it works with array[]=>val

E.G if you have the url hello.html?page=2&filters[]=minPrice&filters[]=maxPrice&minPrice=100&maxPrice=1000

and as you can see there is an array inside this GET information filters[]
it will setup $_GET['filters'][0] = minPrice and $_GET['filters'][1] = maxPrice

So you want to see the code here it is::

PHP Code:


		
			
var $_GET = {};

var undefined;

function readURL() {

  var tLoc = "", tPairs = "";

  var tGet = [];

  var arrays = [];

  var foundGet = -1;

  tLoc = window.location + "";

  foundGet = tLoc.indexOf('?');

  if (foundGet > -1) {

    tLoc = tLoc.substring(foundGet + 1, tLoc.length);

    tPairs = tLoc.split('&');

    for (var i = 0; i < tPairs.length; i++) {

      tGet = tPairs[i].split('=');

      foundArray = tGet[0].indexOf('[');

      if(foundArray > -1){

          foundArrayEnd = tGet[0].indexOf(']')

        if(foundArrayEnd > -1){

          old = tGet[0];

          if (arrays[tGet[0]] === undefined){

            arrays[tGet[0]] = 0;

            $_GET[tGet[0].replace("[]","")] = {};

          }else{

            arrays[tGet[0].replace("[]","")] = arrays[tGet[0]] + 1;

          }

          $_GET[tGet[0].replace("[]","")][arrays[tGet[0]]] = decodeURIComponent(tGet[1].replace(/+/g,' '));

        }

      }else

          $_GET[tGet[0]] = decodeURIComponent(tGet[1].replace(/+/g,' '));

      }

    }

  }

readURL();

What's the use? As long as you don't use a Data Base I might rise a legitimate question: why to submit data? To where? To whom?

If you need to send data to DB, you need a server-side solution. If you don't ... well, if you don't, why bother to submit data?

Do I miss something?

So JavaScript can $_GET so it can loop though them add them to a new URL string and allows you to filter the $_GET to how you want it, once the site that uses it is live i will show you an example

My Data is used in both php and JavaScript form the URL so i need both but i have an Array in the GET so i needed to build a parser for it
